Despite Critic

Lilienthal Calls Senator's Charge ~' "Wague, Ungenerous’ WASHINGTON, May 23 (UP) ~—David BE. Lilienthal said today in reply to a Senator's demand for his ouster that he is willing to stand on his record as chair-

man of the Atomic Energy Com- - mission.

Hickenlooper's “vague and ungenerous wholesale indictment.” The Iowa Republican, a former of the Joint Congressional Atomic Energy Committee, blamed Mr. Lilienthal for “incredible mismanagement,” and for two highly-publicized flascos. Morale Restored He identified the latter as the case of the missing uranium and the disclosure that alleged Communists were sharing in the commission's fellowship program. In his reply, Mr. Lilienthal said that this country's position in atomic weapons was “nothin less than tragic” when he as-

sumed control of the program. Today, he said, the United States has a “substantial stockpile of atomic weapons, including those of new design.” « Furthermore, he said, the nation has developed new sources of atomic materials, set up new safeguards for the atomic program and “restored” the morale of atomic scientists, “The accomplishment of this advance in this period of time is the answer to Sen. Hickenlooper's vague and ungenerous wholesale indictment,” Mr, Lilienthal said. In ‘calling for Mr. Lilienthal's ouster; Ben.
